5 Leadership Styles for Effective Management. By Tracey Maurer What kind of leader are you?

Do you follow the classic definition of a leader: someone who aims to influence and motivate employees to meet organizational goals and effectiveness? If you’re doing your job, then this definition might sound familiar. But let’s get more specific. Do you have a particular leadership style that you usually use? Most leaders generally adhere to one or two preferred styles of leadership with which they feel comfortable.

No style is good or bad. It's how leaders use them that determines success or failure. Take the case of New York Giants Head Coach Tom Coughlin. Something had to change. Coughlin not only survived but became an extraordinary head coach.
Four Types of Leaders. Effective leaders believe that individuals, organizations, and even nations possess undiscovered talents and untapped resources.

They seek to unleash the full potential of their followers, so they can reach higher and go farther than they previously thought possible. Types of Leaders I have found it helpful to categorize leaders into the following four types:
Leadership Styles. Lessons in Leadership A leadership guide featuring step-by-step how-tos, Wall Street Journal stories and video interviews with CEOs.

Adapted from “The Wall Street Journal Guide to Management” by Alan Murray, published by Harper Business. Leadership is less about your needs, and more about the needs of the people and the organization you are leading. Leadership styles are not something to be tried on like so many suits, to see which fits. Rather, they should be adapted to the particular demands of the situation, the particular requirements of the people involved and the particular challenges facing the organization.

These are styles, not types. Any leader can use any style, and a good mix that is customised to the situation is generally the most effective approach. The Visionary Leader The Visionary Leader moves people towards a shared vision, telling them where to go but not how to get there - thus motivating them to struggle forwards. They can fail when trying to motivate more experienced experts or peers. This style is best when a new direction is needed. Overall, it has a very strong impact on the climate.

Character and Traits in Leadership. Managers are people who do things right, while leaders are people who do the right thing. — Warren Bennis, Ph.D.

On Becoming a Leader Building Excellence Leaders do not command excellence, they build excellence. Excellence is “being all you can be” within the bounds of doing what is right for your organization. To reach excellence you must first be a leader of good character. Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Character develops over time. A strong person can be good or bad. Courage — not complacency — is our need today. To be an effective leader, your followers must have trust in you and they need to be sold on your vision. Beliefs are what we hold dear to us and are rooted deeply within us.
10 Traits Of Great Business Leaders.

What Makes a Leader?
Editor’s Note: It was Daniel Goleman who first brought the term “emotional intelligence” to a wide audience with his 1995 book of that name, and it was Goleman who first applied the concept to business with his 1998 HBR article, reprinted here.

In his research at nearly 200 large, global companies, Goleman found that while the qualities traditionally associated with leadership—such as intelligence, toughness, determination, and vision—are required for success, they are insufficient. Truly effective leaders are also distinguished by a high degree of emotional intelligence, which includes self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skill.

These qualities may sound “soft” and unbusinesslike, but Goleman found direct ties between emotional intelligence and measurable business results. Every businessperson knows a story about a highly intelligent, highly skilled executive who was promoted into a leadership position only to fail at the job. Self-Awareness Self-Regulation. Marine Corps Leadership Traits. The 14 leadership traits are qualities of thought and action which, if demonstrated in daily activities, help Marines earn the respect, confidence, and loyal cooperation of other Marines.

It is extremely important that you understand the meaning of each leadership trait and how to develop it, so you know what goals to set as you work to become a good leader and a good follower. JUSTICEDefinition: Justice is defined as the practice of being fair and consistent. A just person gives consideration to each side of a situation and bases rewards or punishments on merit. Suggestions for Improvement: Be honest with yourself about why you make a particular decision.

Military Leadership. Military leadership is the process of influencing others to accomplish the mission by providing purpose, direction, and motivation.

Command is the authority a person in the military service lawfully exercises over subordinates by virtue of his rank and assignment or position. The basic responsibilities of a leader are: Accomplishment of the mission and the welfare of the soldiers. The most fundamental and important organizational technique used by military is the chain of command. The chain of command is the sequence of commanders in an organization who have direct authority and primary responsibility for accomplishing the assigned unit mission while caring for personnel and property in their charge. A military leader has three types of duties: -Specified duties -Directed duties -Implied duties The Professional Military Ethic is: -Loyalty to the nation, the Military, and the unit -Duty -Selfless service The four individual values that all soldiers are expected to possess are:

Generalship: 10 Traits of General Officers that Every Leader Needs. “Luck is of little moment to the great general, for it is under the control of his intellect and his judgment.”Titus Livins The Allies just lost over 10,000 service members at the Chosin Reservoir in late 1950 and retreated back to the original positions they held before the battles began. The blame for such tragic losses was attributed to poor leadership—more specifically, at the generals in charge.
Six Personality Traits of a Leader. There are dozens of personal traits that can affect leadership and some, namely integrity and character, that are absolute.

But in many years of experience, I have observed that the way leaders develop and deploy the eight know-hows is influenced by a handful of them: ambition, drive and tenacity, self-confidence, psychological openness, realism and an insatiable appetite for learning. These personal traits come out in many different ways. Do you stew over a decision alone or bring in trusted advisors for candid discussions?
